Description
This module exploits an unauthenticated command injection in a variety of Hikvision IP
cameras (CVE-2021-36260). The module inserts a command into an XML payload used with an
HTTP PUT request sent to the `/SDK/webLanguage` endpoint, resulting in command execution
as the `root` user.
This module specifically attempts to exploit the blind variant of the attack. The module
was successfully tested against an HWI-B120-D/W using firmware V5.5.101 build 200408. It
was also tested against an unaffected DS-2CD2142FWD-I using firmware V5.5.0 build 170725.
Please see the Hikvision advisory for a full list of affected products.
